Is there anyway to be sure if there is somethong inside ure skin

[TheWafflezKill]

I have one in my thumb near my bone that is hidden under my skin and it hurts like hell

[phonerkayali]

What if it went straight into my hand?

[RenaCat]

Don't be afraid of using tweezers because it actually is a lot easier with them. Mine was stubborn but if you keep pulling at the splinter it'll come out.

@KeithisAwsomeforLife Lol I just got out a small splinter. Let it stay there in your finger for a couple of hours than start squeezing on your finger really hard it should come out.
